Past STAT Events

The $5 Holla

Students were able to lead a special donation drive to support SXU student scholarships.
With a $5 donation, students made a special "shout out" about SXU. Whether about a
favorite professor, staff member, team or roommate, donors were able to give a special
"Holla," which was posted around the Chicago Campus.

A History of Successful Philanthropy!

What began in 2008 as a peanut butter and jelly brigade to feed the hungry in community
shelters has blossomed into a variety of service projects which support the Chicagoland
area.

STAT volunteers have:

Made over 6,000 lunches for local shelters.

Volunteered at the Chicago Food Depository to prepare care packages for those in need.

April 2014 STAT volunteers "took over" the intersection at 95th and Cicero to help
raise funds for Misericordia Heart of Mercy.

To become involved as a STAT member, recommend other causes that may be aided by our
services or to make a donation please contact the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations at
